How to use comfyUI with virtual disk？

[johnsu6616]

Recently, while using ComfyUI with my friends, I set up a computer and integrated some models into it. I wanted everyone to be able to easily access and review these models. However, I encountered an issue when trying to connect to the virtual desk. Despite my attempts, ComfyUI was unable to detect the models on the virtual disk.

Here are some specific cases I encountered:

In one case, I used stable diffusion and set the path --ckpt-dir "Z:\05.AI\SD\models\Stable-diffusion" in a bat file, and this method worked successfully.

Similar to the first case, when I utilized the SD plugin with ComfyUI, it was able to detect and check the models without any issue.

I also attempted to use ComfyUI with the 'extra_model_paths.yaml' file, but unfortunately, it still couldn't detect the models.

Furthermore, I tried using the 'mklink' command via CMD, yet ComfyUI still failed to connect to the virtual disk.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on resolving this issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
John

Let me try to solve.
It seems to be a PATH issue for YMAL, inadequate permissions for the network virtual drive.
Might need to grant operational permissions for the virtual network drive through the console or configure the path similar like SD setting.
In Windows Native security principles/native principle/User permission assignment/Create symbolic link used for everyone
Maybe it can solve the problem.
